Oh great. My woo is better than your woo. What a bucha crap.
The fact is the early church disagreed on this point, which is easily demonstrable.
Who cares ? It's the same as debating which way the tea pot orbits the sun.

Gal 2:16 - "... we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ.
And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by doing the works of the law,
because no one will be justified by the works of the law."
Rom 1:16-17 - "For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written: 'The one who is righteous will live by faith"

James 2:24 "You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone?"

Too bad their deity is such a poor communicator it couldn't even be consistent.

Insufferable know-it-all.
